Quote: The world
media believes that Americans did not take into serious consideration
the current administration's policy adjustments but abruptly hoped their
leader would instantly bring themback to the
golden time after Cold War, which is impossible. Obama has been
completely denied. It is believed to be a "thought riot" in the U.S.... Yu Wanli at Peking
University's Center for International Strategic
Research said that Americans will become more impatient than usual due
to the elections. What Obama has encountered right now is because he
has become the scapegoat for U.S. decline.

The U.S. mid-term election can hardly affect the general U.S.-China situation (pg14)

Quote: According to
our experience in the past 20 years, we can conclude several rules on
the relations between the U.S. elections and U.S.-China relations. It
has been almost impossible not to hype China
topics during major American elections. Thus China can see through the
real essence of U.S. attacks on China during the elections- which were just for earning votes. The fact can also serve as a proof that China has an increasing influence
on American politics. Furthermore, the influence of U.S. presidential
and mid-term elections is decreasing in U.S.-China relations due to
increasing mutual reliance.<<
